WordPress's bad reputation does not come from WordPress. It comes from how it is usually delivered: a twenty-euro theme, fifteen plugins piled on to cover what it does not do, a page builder producing unreadable code, and a site that takes four seconds to appear on a phone. The result is slow, fragile and painful to change. That is not a property of the tool, it is a way of working.
What we do differently
- A theme developed for you, from your mockups. No bought template of which you will use 10 % and carry the other 90 %.
- No page builder. The native editing blocks are enough and produce clean, fast, durable code.
- The fewest plugins possible, each one justified and maintained. Every plugin is one more dependency and one more way in.
- Editing fields that carry your words: opening hours, dish of the day, service area, rather than generic text blocks to format by hand.
- Performance measured before delivery, on a phone and an average connection, not on a developer's machine on fibre.
- Basic security handled: restricted accounts, stronger authentication, automatic backups that are actually tested.
When WordPress is the right choice
We also sell bespoke sites on a headless architecture, and we do not pretend one answer always wins. WordPress has areas where it is objectively better, and here they are.
Autonomy
You want to create pages yourself
Adding a page of a new kind without calling anyone. This is where WordPress beats headless, which needs a developer for each new template.
Budget
Between 4,000 and 9,000 €
Below the point where dedicated development pays off, with a real editorial need. WordPress covers that band better than anything else.
Ecosystem
A need already solved
Memberships, ticketing, booking, directories. When a serious plugin has existed for ten years, rebuilding it makes no sense.
Continuity
Anyone can take over
A very widespread skill in Luxembourg and elsewhere. You are not tied to us, and we stand by that.
Maintenance, which is not optional
A WordPress left unattended becomes vulnerable within months: the core, the theme and every plugin publish security fixes, and compromised sites are almost always running a version behind. That is the honest counterpart to the tool's flexibility, and it belongs in the budget from the start rather than being discovered after the incident. The levels of follow-up and their prices are on the maintenance page.
| What is covered | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Core and plugin updates | Monthly | Almost every break-in exploits a known, already patched version. |
| Automatic backups | Daily | A backup never restored is not a backup: we test them. |
| Uptime monitoring | Continuous | You hear the site is down before your customers do. |
| Performance check | Quarterly | A site slows down as content is added and plugins are installed. |
Taking over an existing WordPress
This is a frequent request: a site delivered three years ago, a supplier gone quiet, nobody willing to touch anything. We start with a half-day audit that answers three things: what can be kept as is, what has to be redone, and what each of the two routes costs. The conclusion is regularly to start again, and just as often that the site is worth saving.

Between 4,000 and 9,000 € excluding VAT for a site with a theme developed for you, content supplied. You will find cheaper with a bought theme: the difference is paid later in slowness, accumulated plugins and a premature rebuild.
No. Those tools save time during the build and lose it afterwards: heavy pages, code that is hard to pick up, a strong dependency on the plugin. We develop the theme and use WordPress's native blocks.
The WordPress core is closely watched and patched quickly. The risk comes from abandoned plugins and sites left un-updated. A WordPress kept current, with few and well-chosen plugins, poses no particular problem.
Yes, that is the main appeal of this route. Delivery includes two hours of training and written documentation. You can also take back the technical maintenance, provided someone genuinely does it every month.
WordPress if you want to create new kinds of pages yourself and the budget sits between 4,000 and 9,000 €. Headless if performance is a commercial concern, if the content must feed several channels, or if you want no recurring security maintenance at all.
